Cheryl Stevenson

  In July 2005, at the age of 47, I was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease
  (EOAD), but because of my age, my neurologist wanted me to get a 2nd opinion. I was also told that my pet scan resembled an Alzheimer's patient.
A few months later, I see a 2nd neurologist & my diagnosis was changed to MCI - Mild
  Cognitive Impairment. MCI means that I probably don't have dementia, but that my
brain   does not function normally for my age. It mostly affects my short term memory
  & my comprehension but sometimes it can affect my long term memory.

Cheryl is a writer and contributes poems each month. She is an inspiration.
